[1] The Company also has discretionary commitments for property option payments and exploration expenditures as outlined above in Note 11 Exploration and Evaluation Assets. There is no obligation to make any of those payments or to conduct any work on its optioned properties. As the Company advances them, it evaluates exploration results and determines at its own discretion which option payments to make and which additional exploration work to undertake in order to comply with the funding requirements.

[2] According to the operator, Fresnillo, contractual commitments including project development and for continuing operations total $16,234 ( December 31, 2021: $36,682) and purchase orders issued for project capital and sustaining capital total $31,575 ( December 31, 2021: $43,584), with respect to the Juanicipio Project on a 100% basis as at December 31, 2022.

[3] Although the Company makes cash advances to Juanicipio as cash called by the operator Fresnillo (based on approved budgets), they are not contractual obligations. The Company intends, however, to continue to fund its share of cash calls and avoid dilution of its ownership interest in Juanicipio.
